Tsunami Evict Spinning Reels are the must have bottom fishing spinning reel. Many anglers are starting to bottom fish with spinning gear. When you aren't into conventional reels but still want to battle big and powerful bottom dwellers, the Evict spinning reels have you covered. These reels are constructed with a stainless steel main gear, stainless steel pinion and a sealed stainless steel main shaft. The eight sealed stainless steel ball bearings on these reels allows for smooth action and increased corrosion resistance. These reels can be used like a winch when getting big fish off the bottom with their CF3 carbon fiber drag system. These spinning reels are great even if you're top water fishing. They cast well and are ideal for live bait fishing. A great spinning reel that won't break the bank.
- Aluminum body
- Fully machined aluminum spool with braid ready spool band
- Graphite rotor with aluminum bailware
- Stainless steel drive and pinion gear
- Stainless steel sealed main shaft
- 7 sealed bearings plus 1 anti-reverse bearing
- Machined aluminum handle arm and power knob
- EVA paddle knob included in box (3000 and 4000 models only)

Great Tog Jig Reel
April 26, 2022
I have the 3000 size on a tsunami slim wave 7’ medium heavy rod spooled with 15lb power pro super slick v2. This is my dedicated tog jig set up. With the lower gear ratio, this reel has the power to pull tog right off the wreck. Would be a perfect a inshore reel too. The reel is not fully sealed so I would keep it to boat only and avoid surf fishing with it.
Pros
- Great reel
Cons
- Not fully sealed

My Third Evict!!
March 9, 2022
This is my third Evict. I first purchased the 5000 series for my extra heavy 8 ft Tsunami Carbon Shield II and caught some good fish with it was smooth and the drag was fantastic. Then I purchased the 4000 series for my Tsunami Carbon Shield II 7'6" Medium Heavy and eventually got the 2000 series for my 7'6" medium action Carbon Shield II. I have no regrets many fish caught with these reels Tutog, Stripe Bass,Porgy (Scup) and Bluefish...
Pros
- Super Smooth
- Love the handle
- Great drag system
Cons
- Nothing at this time of review!!

5000
February 4, 2022
i have used this reel for everything from surf casting on a 10ft rod, to sending sp minnows on a 7ft, and using it to jig for cod on the boat.
i spool it with 50lb power pro super slick.it is very strong and smooth. and super light
it is slow on the retrieve but has a ton of torque so its a trade off
my only complaint is that the "dust cover" which is a plastic piece threaded into the metal body of the reel opposite the handle, will strip out. then the handle will fall out and the whole reel is rendered useless by this tiny little part. major flaw for an otherwise very nice reel. comparable to a clash 2, but because of this the penn wins out by a bit
this is an easy fix, so i would love to see an evict 2.0

Great reeling power but

Ordered the 5000 size. QC led something to be desired. Reel Box was damaged (not the shipping box). Missing standard support hardware that usually should come with it. The line holder on spool is not there. Tackle Direct CS made it right and provided a discount to reflect the issue.
Took it fishing and it’s a tank. Heavy but smooth and plenty of pull power. The power knob is nice feeling but will also freeze your fingers on a chilly night.

Lower seal issue fix
October 6, 2021
Everyone says under the bottom plastic cap there's no seal yes thats true but ....its called get permatex gasket seal and make your own thats what I did I've dunked this reel swam with this reel and had salt spray hit this reel after I made my own gasket/seal no issues what so ever
Pros
- Price and stainless gears and sealed bearings
Cons
- Make your own bottom cap seal but not a hard thing to do if your mechanically inclined

Perfect reel for heavy abuse
August 12, 2021
I outfitted my boat with evict 3000’s for charter clients . We fish inshore channels and mangroves mainly , the stainless steel gears make quick work of horsing big fish out of there hideouts . Very underrated reel, smooth, great sounding drag clicker, and the power knob feels just right. Highly recommend if your in that price range of sub 200$🤙
Cons
- Hate that it says carbon drag on the drag knob. Makes it a bit ?walmarty? in my opinion.

MY BUDDY BOUGHT A 3000 AND A 5000 EVICT. 2ND TRIP OUT THE 3000 TOTALLY LOCKED UP AND THE 5000S BAIL SOMEHOW ALMOST BROKE OFF WHILE HE WAS FIGHTING A FISH. SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A SARAGOSA OR SLAMMER 2
Pros
- COOL LOOKING
Cons
- TERRIBLY BUILT

Nice reel for the money
September 27, 2020
I’m surprised this reel is still a bit under the radar. I have the 5000 model and though it is a bit on the heavy side, quality is no doubt a mainstay. I use mine on a 11 foot TFO surf rod for plugging and bottom fishing and it is a beauty. Cranking power, sealed bearings, a carbon fiber drag, and good looks. What more can you ask for in a reel!

How is the water resistance for this reel? I have a Spinfisher VI 4500 which has been dunked a few times, and yet the reel still handles very well. Did not see any water within the reel shaft as well
1 Answer
This reel is not sealed so dunking it in salt water will not help its longevity or performance.
